IIS redirection - using Apache

[outofcontrol]

I think I have a DNS problem but not sure of the configuration issues.

In IIS I have configured a new Virtual directory to do a redirection to another server in our network that is running Apache.

The external URL is

http://www.mycompany.com/doc

which points to an internal URL which is

http://myserver/doc/start

which is running an apache form

I know the redirect is running fine since I temporarily changed it to

http://www.google.com

and it work. I also changed it to

http://www.mycompany.com/exchange

and OWA did show up

I keep getting "Page can not be displayed" from external clients. However on the IIS server I can get

http://localhost/doc

and it does route to the other server. I can also type

http://myserver/doc/start

from any internal pc and it works fine also.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Joe

If your attempting to get to a server called "myserver" from an external network then it's not going to work. The internet's DNS doesn't know how to resolve that computer. It will probably need to have an external IP address so that computer on the internet know where to go.

If you are logged in via VPN, or actually sitting on your LAN then it should work correctly.
